It can be done but if you accidentally draw a picture of Muhammad, then you'll have to be beheaded... so... think twice. :/
Though I don't like to delve into this topic in too much detail because of some strong opinions, I must say it is absolutely possible...and I am Catholic and speak first hand on this. But hey, you can take a horse to water but you can't force the poor thing to drink. conversing wave
Yeah Im sure its a challenge. Thank you both. I dont think is impossible but I was wondering if someone achieved it. Thanks.
Hi MaruQ
Most certainly. In the country and the city I reside in Muslim people are plenty. And the majority people I come in contacted with are Muslims in the business sector. They loving and very kind people, so I do not see a problem at all, and yes I am catholic even if I don't talk about my beliefs
Your opinions really comfort me. I do believe in good people evetywhere no matter their beliefs
I traveled to Israel and Palestine last year and was quite a peaceful and nice trip with kind people everywhere.
Of course it is.

I never even think to ask what religion somebody is, if any.

One's religion shouldn't impact on day to day conversation, friendship and collegiality.
Yes it's possible and yes I have Muslim friends. People are people, most are not defined by their religion
Lots of South Africans I met had to flee the country as they were opposed to apartheid when it wasn't popular for whites to oppose it.

They would have been summarily thrown into jail if they had not escaped.
Even the Dalai Lama left Tibet.

Sometimes more good can be done from outside as inside.
I imagine the answer to that depends on where this friendship is to take place as much as anything else, in the most part as far as the middle east is concerned, as an example, you'd be risking your life to be a practising Catholic let alone be friends with a Muslim, I'm posting this article as it's current & therefore easy to find, but there are thousands more examples -



It therefore seems to me to be the case that such a friendship is only possible in a place with a Christian\Catholic majority, as such places tend to have a more tolerant attitude to religion.

It also seems to me such friendships are only possible where no extremist tendencies are present, if any CS members has a formula to work out who is likely to become an extremist please do share it as governments across the world are struggling to find an answer to that question.
most people are peaceful.
wave I find the question itself quite absurd.conversing
Maruq....the Egyptian gentleman I dated was Muslim. Very good person, indeed. It is perfectly possible and well beyond.....I think many/some (no bashing here, I know it's certainly not all) generalize the religion and culture as one would generalize race or age, etc......in my opinion it should be viewed as individual and not as a whole. Everyone is different and there is good and bad in every race, religion and culture. Can they get along? Certainly.....it takes an open mind and a good soul to see beyond and love someone for the heart they hold so dear. handshake hug
Why do people think Muslims means they are not good. Every muslim are not like Laden, the Godfather of terrorism. people like Faraaz Ayaaz Hossain is among the millions of muslim.

Faraaz Ayaaz Hossain, 20, was a student at Emory University in Atlanta, the United States. He had come to Dhaka, Bangladesh on 18 May to spend his summer holidays.

Faraaz went to the Holey Artisan Baker on 1 July evening with two foreign friends; Abinta Kabir, a US citizen and also a student of Emory University, and Tarushi Jain, an Indian national and student of the University of California, Berkeley.

The three were friends from the same school and all of them would be trapped inside as hostages when the restaurant was taken over by armed militants around 8:30pm.

An eye-witness account of one of the hostages was published in The New York Times newspaper on 2 July detailing the horrific acts of the militants.

In the report, Hishaam Hossain, Faraaz Hossain’s nephew, was quoted to have said that Faraz was given the opportunity to leave too, as he had heard an account from the hostages who were freed.

However, when the gunmen asked his accompanying friends their nationality, they said they were from India and the United States. The gunmen refused to release them, and Faraaz Hossain refused to leave them behind, his relative said.

He would be among those found dead on Saturday morning.

Faraaz refused to leave his friends behind at the hands of the militants. He stayed behind with his friends out of sheer selflessness.
so every muslim is not same. so come forward to make friendship with good muslims and make a safer world for next generation. don't stay away from muslims.

Acquaintances and business contacts, not really friends as such. They don't do the things we do for fun, such as having a drink, going to a gig, or(successfully)chatting up a woman, and my not being a muslim matters a hell of a lot to them. I'm not in their immediate family, extended family or even their religion and this makes all the difference.
It's cruel multi-culti really when you look at it from the migrant's point of view. The muslim community in Manchester is the equivalent of a prison cell surrounded by a pool party. And the inmates get to look out at us all having the time of our lives and they're supposed to not go insane. It is cruelty.
You need to get out more my dear...most of my staff are muslim, my best friend is muslim...and Im atheist..
